The Chilean government has decided to adjust the corona-related entry restrictions in order to make the country more competitive again in terms of tourism.

So far, foreign travelers have been allowed to enter the South American country without proof of vaccination or negative test results. From September 1st, a vaccination certificate issued in the home country must be presented for entry. Those who cannot do this are required to submit a negative PCR test, which was carried out no more than 48 hours before departure. On the one hand, this means that entry for tourists is more strictly regulated, but on the other hand, the mandatory filling out of the C19 health declaration upon entry is no longer necessary. For free movement within Chile, it is no longer necessary to have your vaccination card recognized by applying for a Chilean mobility card. As before, however, random tests can be carried out at the airports, as Check24 reports.

On August 4th, Chile made Easter Island, a tourist highlight of the country, accessible to visitors again. The remote island with the striking stone sculptures had previously sealed itself off from the outside world for over two years to protect the local population from the corona virus. Foreign guests are now allowed to visit the island again, but from the age of six they must present a negative PCR test that is no more than 24 hours old.
